On a 75-acre verdant peninsula where architecture and topography seamlessly blend, the five luxury villas of Eagle's Nest offer five interpretations of luxury. On one end, the Fire Light Temple is an intimate honeymoon retreat with an open-air bedroom and glass shower overlooking the cerulean waters below. Meanwhile, at the award-winning Rahimoana, 44 acres of private land include its own beach, a helipad and a modernist villa architects say is destined for Frank Lloyd Wright-like icon status.

Eagles Nest is simply fabulous. We’ve been lucky enough to stay twice now, and we’re already counting down to going back again next year. Lauren, Adam, and the entire team truly go above and beyond to make the whole experience completely stress-free and effortless. From start to finish, everything is seamless, thoughtful, and designed so you can just relax and enjoy the holiday. It’s one of those rare places that exceeds expectations every time. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!

Our group of 9 family members stayed here for three nights over Christmas. The features of this spot are many….Four bedrooms, five baths, outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, two barbecues, a fully functional kitchen and pantry, etc etc. This is also a very beautiful spot with a well manicured yard. The hoe is about twenty years old but has been meticulously maintained. We enjoyed group Yoga on the front porch, Croquet in the side yard, and the service from the folks who work here was fantastic, including free shuttle service to and from the local restaurants where we dined.

Oh my goodness me, what an amazing place this is. It has the wow factor - big time ! We were lucky enough to stay in one of the larger villas and it had every possible amenity you could think of. A lovely bottle of chilled champagne was waiting for us when we arrived along with a friendly and welcoming introduction from Kim. It’s a stunning property with stunning views. You cannot help but feel relaxed here. We really appreciated being so well looked after by the team here, especially the help we received with an issue we had with our luggage. Luxury accommodation at its very best, I would not hesitate to recommend.

Wonderful place, super staff. Superb setting, amazing views across the Bay to historical Waitangi, Russell is a quirky and enjoyable town with some fun restaurants, and the natural environs of the Eyrie/Eagle’s Nest property is stunning. The staff were very helpful and hospitable, always ready to make enquiries about bookings, activities, cruises etc.

We spent our wedding at Eagles Nest and can only say: "Service at its finest." Lauren and the team were an invaluable help in planning and executing our dream wedding and made it come true. Everything was first-class (villa, property, communication, housekeeping, etc.). Everything was perfectly organized and supported, as we have‘nt seen it before. Highly recommended!
